Did you know we also have a YouTube channel? It is small but growing. So far, short videos covering highways such as State Highway 108 over Sonora Pass, Highway 91 through Santa Ana Canyon, old US 101 in San Diego, various county roads in the Santa Clarita area, and more have been posted. Come check it out!

Zoom Presentations
I will be starting a monthly presentation series via Zoom starting next month. The first presentation, through the Historic Highway 99 Association of California, will be on the Ridge Route Alternate section of old US 99 north of Los Angeles. Future presentations haven’t been decided yet. I’m looking to you for suggestions. What topics, specific or general, would you like me to cover? Topics can range from bicycling, motorcycling, geology, highways, railroads, and more. Preferably it would be some topic that is related to what this site covers. I’m open to suggestions! What do you think? Use the comment section or send me a message!
For reference, these presentations will range from 30 minutes to an hour, with time for questions after. They will also be toward the beginning of the month.
Ridge Route Alternate Presentation
On Tuesday, April 6 at 6pm, I will be giving a presentation via Zoom on the Ridge Route Alternate section of US 99 during the regular monthly meeting of the Historic Highway 99 Association of California. It will cover the history of the roadway from its original construction through to its replacement by I-5 from Castaic to Tejon Pass. The presentation will include some rarer photos of the route and have time at the end for questions. Come join us and learn a bit about the history of US 99 in Southern California!

Site Updated
After two moves, and two more uploads, the site is now, hopefully, all up and running. All the images seems to be in place and the rest of the site seems to be functioning. If you see something out-of-order, please let me know. Otherwise, finally all moved to the new server. I had forgotten about the SFTP vs FTP limits on files which was the main cause of the problems.
Highway 99 Q & A Meeting
I will be hosting an online meeting next month to discuss Highway 99 in Southern California. It will be open to questions about the highway, its history, the Ridge Route, the Highway 99 Association of California, and depending on time – connecting highways like US 6. If you’d like to submit a question, use the form below and we’ll do our best to answer them in the meeting. This is your chance to meet the author of this site and learn more about California’s Main Street!
The meeting will be hosted on Zoom on Wednesday, February 10, 2021 from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Registration will be required. Use the link below to register.
